 FUFA had ordered both teams to pay the above fine each on top of replaying the game to this Friday in Mityana.

 However, the game was postponed to a non confirmed date by the federation. “It is Police who walked off the pitch and it was the referees cause not we as the club”, noted one of the club officials.

 Masaka LC claims argues that they cannot play the whole game again since also Vipers and SC Villa played for only the time that was remaining yet their tie was aborted due to fans.
